DMS offerings and pricing-Data Management-阿里云帮助中心

This document describes the billing for Data Management (DMS), including product types, billing methods, and pricing. It does not cover the billing items for Database Backup Service (DBS).

Notes

You cannot switch the billing method of a DMS product between pay-as-you-go and subscription.
To use a subscription product, such as control mode or sensitive data protection, you must first unsubscribe from the pay-as-you-go product and then purchase the subscription product.
You cannot offset fees between DMS products with different billing methods and prices.
For example, if you purchase a pay-as-you-go product for security collaboration mode, you cannot offset its fees by purchasing a subscription product for security collaboration control mode.

FAQ

Q: Why am I being charged for a pay-as-you-go DMS product that I have not used?

A: Purchasing a pay-as-you-go product provisions a quota, which incurs continuous charges. If you no longer need the paid features, such as after releasing or deleting an instance, you must manually unsubscribe from the service or assign the quota to another instance. Unsubscription is not automatic. For more information, see refund instructions.
